The low black hull of 1O0-foot
boat on The ways at Poillon's shin
building yard in Brooklyn is the
first thing, says the New York
Times, that strikes the eye of a
stranger entering the gates
This is..the boat whose motive power
is to create q revolution. She has
been designed by Mr.. Townsend.

launched in three weeks. A little
ten horse power steel engine has
been built IN Pittsbarg and finished
in Jersey City, from the designs of
Sam Secor, son Of the man who
built the original Fulton engines.
This will be placed in her hull and
used to compress air, 500 pounds
to the square inch, which will be
stored in 4 vessel similar to
those used in soda water fountains
1t would then be mixed with vaDor-
lied crude petroleum which forms
an explosive to be fred by electric
spark, through cylinders leading tc
holes in the side of the vessel
This causes a powerful conclusion
on the water and gives the motive
power. There are two holes or
either side, twelve feet from the
stern which run almost parable
with the sides. These are used foI
forward propulsion. Two .mor,

1t may not be generally known
that cold food is more easily kept
on a sensitive stomach than hot; SC
in cases where it is rejected in the
ordinary warm or hot form, it had
better be tried as nearly frozen 81
can be taken. In many ftvers this
would be q decided advantage.
This prejudice against cold food Is,
perhaps, natural. but we carry II
too far. Milk may be administered
in a frozen state, often with Posi-.

Among the indications Of pros
perlty it is observed that the United
States treasury is receiving money
at the rate OF $l,000,000 - day, the
increase this month over the same
period last year being $4,000, 900.
The surplus will be much larger
than last years, which was about
$93, 100000. In getting rid Of it
the only bonds subject to call are
the three per cents, of which the
amount remaining is 74,4S4 100.
Another indication Of similar i'm
port is afforded by the report of
Postmaster General Villas for the
fiscal year, showing that the net in
crease in the revenues Of the de-
partment was 3 2 per cent. and that
the volume of business by which it
was gained increased over Z per
cent.

There is a great deal of nonsense
believed about wooden goods, and
some Of it has become an updoubt-
ed fact in thousands of minds.
Perhaps one of the greatest errors,
says the Western Rural, is the be-
lief that red flannel is better than
white. 1t is sometimes claimed
that it initiates the skin more tn an
white flannel, and hence is better
| for the circulation. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that we do not
wear fannels to irritate the skin.
If that is what is needed better
apply a mustard plaster or use q
crash towel. We wear flannels for
the warmth that they give, and
white will impart just as much
warmth as red flannel. II red Can
mel irritates the skin more than
white, it must be because the dye
is irritating, and it certainly would
not be advisable TO apply sn irrI-
table chemical to the skin; and
how much of that irritating prin.
ciple would remain after the gar
ment had been washed over and
over again? The only definite
thing known about this matter is
that the dyes are sometimes pois.
onous and'produce bad results. 1t
is safer. better ard cleaner to wear
nothing hut white aannels. For all
purposes Of utility they will serve
every purpose and the expense for
dyeing will be saved.

Mr.. Powderly's ability as a lear

Mr. Powderly's ability as lead
er and organizer will undoubtedly
be put to very severe test during
the coming winter. All is not har-
monious in the ranks of the
Knights Of Labor. Some six hun
dred glass blowers, members of To-
cal assemblies in six different
towns in New Jersey, have with
drawn from the order, surrendered
the charters of their assemblies
because their district assembly in
sists on their engaging in strike
after they have made an adjust
ment with their employers and
agreed to continue work and coun-
tenance the apprentice system. The
members who have withdrawn
are threatened with ostracism by
other knights and it will be diff
cult matter to reconcile the differ
ences which have sprung up. 1t is
certain, however, that public opin-
ion, the greatest of all tribunals,
will render 8 verdict favorable to
tie men who are willing to give an
apprentice an opportunity to learn
trade. Another serious question
must be met, and that promptly.
Large numbers Of knights that en-
gagged in the south west strike have
been unable to secure work, and
many families are at this time in q
suffering condition. The strik ers
were promised support, should the
result he against them. That sup
port should now be at hand but is
not. On the contrary it is claimed
that money raised by assessments
last summer has not been disbursed
for the purposes originally intend
ed, and unless help is forthcoming
at once a sensation is threatened.
